Chidi was extremely friendly, calming and overall very professional. The disappointing part for me was that Chidi had so many patients booked in that he was unable to get his own lunch. Thanks Chidi!
Chidi was lovely, friendly & put me at ease from the consultation & throughout the procedure. He explained everything well, answered my questions, gave follow up advice. He is also very funny, and made me laugh throughout the time I was in the clinic, & was respectful to his colleagues & myself
